Even Italian petrol is appreciably cheaper than Switzerland
(There was no petrol available in Mulhouse for some reason)

How easy was it to get the COVID19 test in Italy? Also, what type of test was it? (PCR or Lateral Flow), and what is the cost?
Glad to see that the Italian 5 day quarantine requirement for UK citizens who are double jabbed will stop on Tuesday - just get a COVID19 test within 48 hours of arrival.
Hopefully we'll get there this year.
Get a new passport in your maiden name? ( I think that's allowable, but not sure)
As long as you aren't in a hurry - I gather there are big delays issuing passports at present.
Are they still requiring uk residents to quarantine on entry to Italy?

Thank for the information.
One question - the reference to vaccine bar codes, is this on the new NHS Covid Pass, or is it on something else?
(Just had message from NHS that the Covid Pass is now available, both electronic and paper version)
You must be joking?
Second clue. Everton Football Club are also known as the Blues - their kit is coloured BLUE

I think it's fair to say that each Comune has its own wY of dealing with bills.
I now use, as I say above, the Bank route. Before that I used the IBAN BIC way - both have their faults. ---
My bank closed my branch and transferred me to a nearby branch, but forgot to pay the F24s, in the reorganisation process, until reminded, after the due date
When I used BIC IBAN route, I was contacted 6 years later, saying I hadn't paid one bill. They had lost my email, but luckily I had a copy to send them.
So keep good records of what you do.
My Comune sends the F24s to me for paying bills - but I have to email the signed F24s to my Italian bank for payment to be made.
The Comune does have an online bill payment site, but at present 'foreigners ' can't use it - but they are working on how to let us do it.
So, in essence, my advice is talk to the Comune, as every Comune seems to have different processes in place.
